Richard, question on Bhamotin history...<br>
The snippet is below with my questions afte
rit..<br>
<br>
<br>
BHAMOTIN<br>
Snippet ----<br>
<br>
<br>
In the year 239, they founded Kasha to celebrate their<br>
victories for the faith.<br>
<br>
Three generations of peace followed the founding of Kasha.<br>
Radical theologians believe that this peace, when Adonai<br>
wished that his word be spread, caused the century of pain<br>
that followed. Beginning around the year 300, Bhamotin<br>
suffered from serious plagues, Climan raids and Rogizini
ambushes.<br>
In the year 416 they fought a major war with the Cerulean
Empire<br>
and were badly beaten. For the next 45 years, they paid
the<br>
Ceruleans a yearly tribute in order to retain their
independence.<br>
<br>
The Cerulean tribute ended in the reign of Toval Maresh as
Primate<br>
of the Citadel (432 - 485). In the year 450, taking a
Cerulean<br>
invasion of Hadat as an opportunity, Toval ended the tribute
and<br>
declared war. In a short war (450 - 451) Bhamotin scored a
major<br>
victory and the Ceruleans withdrew. During the rest of his
reign,<br>
Toval increased the might of Bhamotin, built a network of
military<br>
roads, began the monastic orders and ordered the construction
of<br>
Bhamotin's first war fleet. On his death (at the age of
98),<br>
Bhamotin was on its way to becoming a major power.<br>
<br>
------<br>
416 They fight with Ceruleans...<br>
Then it says for 45 years they paid tribute this would be<br>
416+45=461 if My math is correct :)<br>
<br>
Next paragraph it says 450 they ended the tribute and declared
war.<br>
450-451 War.<br>
<br>
<br>
See a bit of confusion here? If the tribute took 45 years
paid<br>
How did we get from 450 to 461? :)<br>
<br>
My guess is the 45 should read 11 years? Then that'll fix
everything..<br>
<br>
BTW medieval generation is 25 years or what :)<br>
Just wanted to clarify it.<br>
